That's not right. That's not how antonymy works. As I've tried to explain previously, divorced is an antonym of married.
Could be. As I said, I don't think it covers the whole waterfront. But maybe it doesn't have to.

On internet sites where this is sometimes asked (it's optional to respond), I have seen "It's complicated".

Youngsters have given me to understand that "It's complicated" usually means "I am currently dating or sleeping with more than one person."
